Note the headline. That isn't summer vacation, but a vacation from a workout schedule in the summer. Didn't do much this past week. No swimming laps, just floating around Oceans of Fun pools. Did two 5Ks, which was probably the highlight of the workout for the week. For the bicycle there was 58 miles, most … Continue reading Fitness update: summer workout vacation

Mini Camp Weekend
When the equipment for the mini camp weekend was setting up Friday night at Avondale United Methodist Church it grabbed a lot of attention from the neighborhood. A lot of kids and parents came by to ask what was up.
A Blast of the Past #56: Open House
One year after we moved into our current house we hosted an open house. Since that was in mid-November, it is also group with some Christmas tree photos. We spent a bit of time creating a banner for the open house -- one that is still in storage upstairs in the house.
Closures
Wednesday night while riding home I went by Rivermarket Cyclery, and saw a sign that said "Store is closing: everything must go!" Further along the route, in North Kansas City on Armour Road, I saw a sign in front of Sutherlands for 25 to 27% off everything -- lost our lease. I had heard rumours … Continue reading Closures

Hugo Awards: Best Novelette
Today I'm doing the Best Novelette Category. I'm doing this mostly on impressions, less on analysis. I'm giving the first story I read the first ranking: "What Price Humanity?" by David VanDyke.

Fitness Update: Energetic and Tired
Today's fitness update is going to start with an impression of state, rather than statistics.

“you must include the … type of … metadata you were submitting when the problem occurred.”
I had an interaction with a help desk this week that really brought to the fore some of the inanities of help desks. Before I rant too much, I should preface it by saying I get a lot of good help from a lot of help desk people. This just happens to be the (usually … Continue reading “you must include the … type of … metadata you were submitting when the problem occurred.”
